A dishwashing appliance may include a cabinet, a door, and a sensor assembly. The door may extend along the lateral direction between a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge. The door may be rotatably mounted to the cabinet to move about a rotation axis between an open position and a closed position. The sensor assembly may detect a rotational position of the door and include a stationary electrical contact and a movable electrical contact. The stationary electrical contact may be mounted on the cabinet at a first side or a second side. The movable electrical contact may be mounted on the door at the first lateral edge or the second lateral edge. The movable electrical contact may be in selective alignment and electrical connection with the stationary electrical contact based on the rotational position of the door.

Disclosed is a cleaning device for cleaning items to be cleaned. The cleaning device has at least one cleaning chamber and at least one covering device at least partially surrounding the cleaning chamber. The covering device can be moved in an opening movement direction from a closed position into an open position or in a closing movement direction from an open position into a closed position by means of at least one electromechanical drive via at least one transmission. The cleaning device furthermore has a sensor, which is designed to detect an action of a manual force on the covering device in the opening movement direction or in the closing movement direction. The cleaning device is furthermore designed to control the electromechanical drive in accordance with the detection of the action of the manual force.

A removable non-integrated treating chemistry dispensing cartridge assembly may emit a signal in response to a predetermined amount of treating chemistry being detected and in response to a predetermined amount of illumination being detected.

A domestic dishwasher includes a wash container which has a loading opening. The loading opening of the wash container can be closed by a door. A suction apparatus is provided to suction steam and/or air, in particular moisture-laden air, escaping from the loading opening. The suction apparatus has at least one inlet window located outside a wet chamber of the wash container.

The present invention relates to a household appliance and a method for controlling same. The household appliance includes: at least one chamber for accommodating a to-be-processed object and at least one door for closing the chamber; a collection module, at least for collecting a time signal when the door is opened; a controller, connected to the collection module to receive and analyze the time signal generated by the collection module when the door is opened, count a high-frequency time segment when the door is opened in a predetermined time period T1, and generate a control signal for controlling an operation state of a function loading module; and the function loading module, connected to the controller to receive the control signal for controlling operation of the function loading module. Therefore, the present invention provides a household appliance with a new control method.

A method of operating a dish treating appliance includes a user interface disposed along the top edge of a door for selectively opening and closing access to a treating chamber. The user interface can be illuminated and operating the user interface can include operating a user input mode when the door is open and a status mode when the door is closed.

An electrical household appliance includes a communication interface configured to communicate with a communication device through a communication connection. A remote control facility is configured to make it possible to operate the electrical household appliance by way of a communication device. A door is configured to open a region of the electrical household appliance in an open state or to close the region in a closed state. A monitoring facility is configured to detect the state of the door. A controller is configured to automatically activate the remote control facility if the door is in the closed state and the electrical household appliance is activated locally. A method for operating an electrical household appliance is also provided.

A dishwashing appliance may include a cabinet, a tub, a removable light assembly, and a wireless power transmitter. The tub may define a wash chamber within the cabinet. A removable light assembly may be selectively attached to the tub. The removable light assembly may include a support body, a light source, an onboard controller, and a wireless power receiver. The light source may be mounted on the support body. The onboard controller may be in electrical communication with the light source. The wireless power receiver may be mounted to the support body in electrical communication with the light source and the onboard controller. The wireless power transmitter may be spaced apart from the support body in operable communication with the wireless power receiver to transmit an electromagnetic field thereto.

A method of operating a dishwasher appliance, as provided herein, may include detecting a door of the dishwasher appliance in an open position and determining the door is maintained in the open position for a preset minimum continuous period. The method may further include detecting the door in a closed position following the preset minimum continuous period. The method may still further include measuring an additive volume of a wash additive in an additive compartment on the door while the door is in the closed position following the preset minimum continuous period.

A dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher, includes a dishwasher cavity for receiving an item to be washed. A door or flap is configured to close the dishwasher cavity and movable between an open and a closed position. Associated to the door or flap is a two-stage or multi-stage safety catch for transition between an open and a closed state of the door or flap. A device is provided to capture whether the door or flap is closed or open and to detect a traversal of the two-stage or multi-stage safety catch.
